Is that the Comet convertible you posted for sale earlier this year?

Yep. I was getting ready to run an online auction when I saw the gear lube running down the inside sidewall. ( I had to sit on my hands when you guys went on about how cool ‘65 Calientes are when one was spotted in the background of another ad, lol. Another shot of unrusted quarters for all you guys in the Midwest….

I looked hard at your car, but I'm just NOT a convertible guy. I've tried 3 times in my life to learn to like them and it just isn't going to happen...
And yet, I've had a motorcycle every year but one since 1967... go figure.

Here's something most people will never see done. The shop owner took in a 1969 Firebird that had been restored with a badly bent subframe and convinced the owners to buy a new "engine cradle" and he would install it. Once the subframe arrived he was a little perplexed as to how to proceed. I explained the car wasn't a complete unibody and the subframe held the entire front clip and engine in place. There was nothing to levitate the engine from, like a modern front drive car. He has been dealing with modern cars too long and forgot that. Sooooo, he dreamed up a way to suspend the engine and front clip from 2 of the towers on the frame rack and dropped the subframe out the bottom. He did all the removal work, just to prove it could be done and then handed the job over to me. Yippee, I love taking over a job someone else took apart, but I got it done. Gotta say it was a new experience. Major PITA getting the lower control arms/springs back in with the body so close to the rack. I had to compress the springs with an allthread enough to get the arms up in place and bolted in.

I replaced the slave cylinder in my 94’ Corvette.

Travelled a couple thousand miles this past weekend to pick up a few more pinball games that I will restore this winter. Most of these are electro-mechanical games from the 70's including one solid state KISS game that I just had to have. I cleaned most of the contacts and switches on the playfield before assembling the cabinet yesterday. Over the winter, I'll put a bunch of time into this one to get it completely restored. Love playing these old games and have been collecting them for the past 10 years or so.

I bought this all original numbers 65 365hp roadster the day before I came to MCACN. Starting to freshen a handful of items. This is always enjoyable work.
